I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Heaven, Daluo Heaven, Taixuan Province, Wenchang Palace.

Yang Zhu stood aside, listening helplessly to the complaints of Emperor Wenchang in the hall, "You said, he has become the God of Fortune in the human world, but he is still so casual. Is Qingping Mountain a place that can be a divine residence? He is the God of Fortune in the human world, not the God of Fortune in Dongsheng Shenzhou."

Dongfang Shuo, the commander of the Taixuan Commandery, who was standing nearby, laughed when he heard this and said, "After all, he is the God of Fortune and Destiny. He holds the power in the world, so naturally he can set up the God's Palace wherever he wants."

At this point, Dongfang Shuo glanced at Emperor Wenchang and said, "After all, the Great Celestial Lord has no objection."

Emperor Wenchang sighed and said, "It's inconvenient after all. You see, we have to go to Dongsheng Shenzhou to send a document. Besides, he is in Xiniu Hezhou now, right? There is only a temple master named Wangshu left. This person has no official rank and is not a god in our heaven. There are some things in heaven that they cannot know."

Yang Zhu said: "But Lingtai Zhenjun trusts this person very much and lets her take full charge of the Qingping Mountain Divine Palace. All matters in the heaven are connected with her."

Emperor Wenchang said, "I think this man called Wangshu is far inferior to the Fire Spirit Immortal."

"This is a bit strange." Dongfang Shuo said with a puzzled look on his face: "Why doesn't Lingtai Zhenjun let Huoling Zhenxian take charge of the affairs of the Divine Palace on his behalf?"

Emperor Wenchang waved his hand and said, "The True Immortal Fire Spirit has been assigned to the Dongyue Divine Palace to take charge of the Dongyue authority."

Yang Zhu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? This Lingtai Zhenjun has a good idea. Dongyue is the leader of the Five Mountains, and its power is second only to him, the Great God of Destiny. He asked Huoling Zhenxian to assist Dongyue Emperor and take charge of Dongyue's power. Tsk tsk. This is to control the Five Mountains."

"You are too kind." Dongfang Shuo said, "No matter how powerful the Fire Spirit Immortal is, he is only assisting the Great Emperor Dongyue. The real power of Dongyue still lies in the hands of the Great Emperor Dongyue."

Emperor Wenchang said, "Let's not talk about this. It has nothing to do with us. Can we report to the Great Celestial Lord and ask the True Lord of the Spiritual Platform to set up the Divine Palace in another place? The most important thing is to facilitate communication between heaven and earth."

"This..." Yang Zhu and Dongfang Shuo looked at each other, and then Yang Zhu said, "Your Majesty, if I rashly give you advice, I'm afraid it will be suspected of abusing your power."

Dongfang Shuo said: "The main reason is that I am afraid that Lingtai Zhenjun will misunderstand and say that we taught him how to do things."

Emperor Wenchang frowned and said, "Isn't Lingtai Zhenjun such a narrow-minded person?"

"Well, it's hard to say." Yang Zhu said.

Dongfang Shuo also shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

As he was speaking, a boy came in from outside the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, the head of the Tongcheng Court, Liu An, is waiting to see you outside the palace."

Emperor Wenchang said: "Announce."

The boy accepted the order and left the Wenchang Hall. Afterwards, Liu An, the head of the Tongcheng Court, walked into the hall holding a jade memorial in both hands.

When Emperor Wenchang saw that it was the 'Jade Book Memorial', his expression slightly condensed, because those who can use the Jade Book Memorial are all righteous gods above the third rank in the heavenly court.

This is also the reason why Liu An, as the head of the academy, had to come and submit the memorial in person.

"Whose memorial is this?" asked Emperor Wenchang.

Liu An first bowed and paid homage to Emperor Wenchang, then raised the jade book in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is the memorial from Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun of Guanjiangkou."

"Oh?!" Emperor Wenchang straightened up immediately. It was very rare for Erlang Shen to take the initiative to submit a report.

The first person to express doubt was Dongfang Shuo: "Could something have happened in the Southern Continent?"

"It shouldn't be." Yang Zhu analyzed, "Not to mention the magical power of Erlang Zhenjun, there is also the Nanyue Emperor in charge of the Southern Continent. Even if Erlang Zhenjun and the Nanyue Emperor can't handle it, there is still the Lingtai Zhenjun guarding the human world, so it shouldn't be a disaster."

Emperor Wenchang nodded slightly, and then said, "Present the memorial."

A clerk beside him immediately walked down the steps of the palace, took the jade book memorial from Liu An, and presented it to Emperor Wenchang.

Emperor Wenchang took the jade memorial, then used his own jade seal to erase the seal on it, and then opened the memorial to examine it.

"Huh?" Wenchang Emperor soon uttered a voice of surprise, "What is Erlang Shen doing?"

Having said this, Emperor Wenchang closed the Jade Book and turned to the attendant beside him and said, "Get ready. I want to go to the Divine Sky Jade Palace to meet His Majesty the Great Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole."

"Yes." Cheng Wulang bowed and left.

Soon after, Emperor Wenchang arrived outside the Shenxiao Jade Palace's 'Dongji Miaoyan Palace' on his jade chariot. He stood up and stepped off the chariot, holding Erlang Shen's memorial and walked straight into the palace.

The young men and women who were walking along the way stopped and saluted when they saw Emperor Wenchang. Emperor Wenchang asked a boy, "Is the Heavenly Lord in the temple?"

The boy bowed and said, "To Emperor Wenchang, the Heavenly Lord is not in the palace today. He is currently admiring the lotus in the Jiuqu Garden."

Emperor Wenchang nodded slightly, and then said to the boy: "If you have nothing to do, you can lead the way for me."

The boy sang a respectful "yes", and then led the way for Emperor Wenchang. When they arrived outside the Jiuqu Garden, he said, "Emperor, this is the Jiuqu Garden. Please go in. I will take my leave now."

Emperor Wenchang nodded and said, "Thank you very much. You can go now."

The boy bowed and left, then Emperor Wenchang tidied his appearance and stepped into the Jiuqu Garden.

As soon as Emperor Wenchang stepped into the garden, he felt something soft and light under his feet. He looked down hurriedly and found that he was standing on a green lotus leaf.

Beneath the lotus leaves, clouds and water are rippling, mist is shrouded, and fairy clouds are rising. In the water, there are also golden turtles and magical fish swimming leisurely.

"Daoyou, where are you from?" A faint voice came from the front. Emperor Wenchang looked up and saw Dongji Qinghua Emperor, who was dressed in Taoist robes, with a wooden hairpin on his head and a whisk in his hand. He was sitting cross-legged on a lotus leaf and looking at him with a smile on his face.

Emperor Wenchang bowed his head and said, "Your Highness Taixuan pays respect to the Great Lord of Rescue."

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun smiled slightly and said, "Today, Dong Wanggong is on duty at the altar. If you have any business, you can go to the Shenxiao Palace to see him."

Emperor Wenchang said quickly, "Heavenly Lord, this matter can only be decided by Heavenly Lord."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun asked, "What's the matter?" Wenchang Dijun raised the jade book and said, "It's about Erlang Shen reporting to Lingtai Zhenjun."

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun's face was slightly tense, and he asked hurriedly, "Is it the chapter of impeachment?"

"No." Emperor Wenchang said, "Erlang Shen said that the shrine set up by Lingtai Zhenjun was too remote, so he asked the Heavenly Court to give Buzhou Mountain to Lingtai Zhenjun to set up the shrine."

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun frowned slightly and said, "Present the memorial."

"Yes." Emperor Wenchang responded, then took a step forward and came to Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, stepping on the soft and tender green lotus leaves.

Emperor Wenchang presented the memorial, and Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun took it and read it carefully, then asked, "What do you think?"

Emperor Wenchang replied, "Your Majesty, I also think that the Lingtai Zhenjun's shrine is too remote. It is not only inconvenient for people to communicate with each other, but also inconvenient for the heavens to communicate with each other. However, whether Buzhou Mountain should be given to Lingtai Zhenjun to set up a shrine is not something I dare to say."

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun also said: "Yes, there is a gate to heaven on Mount Buzhou, and it connects to the Nine Netherworlds below. There are also thunder lakes all around. It has always been a taboo place. I have never heard of it being rewarded to anyone. It is a serious matter."

At this point, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun handed Erlang Shen's memorial to Wenchang Dijun and said, "Go to Shenxiao Palace first and hand this memorial to Dong Wanggong."

Emperor Wenchang immediately understood what Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun meant, so he took back the memorial and said, "As you wish."

Not long after, Emperor Wenchang presented the memorial to the King of the East. After reading it, the King of the East was also troubled and immediately went to find Taiyi Rescuer of Sufferings.

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun said to Dongwanggong and Wenchang Dijun: "This matter is beyond our power to decide. Let's report it to the Jade Emperor."

Dong Wanggong and Wenchang Emperor both responded respectfully. A moment later, the three of them arrived at the Tongming Palace and presented Erlang Shen's memorial to the Jade Emperor.

After reading the memorial, the Jade Emperor did not say anything, but asked Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, "Dongji Qinghua Emperor, what do you think about this matter?"

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, although the Buzhou Mountain was broken once in ancient times, it is still the root of the earth veins of the Great World of Yama. It connects to the Heaven Gate above and the Nine Netherworlds below. It is surrounded by thunder lakes. From ancient times to the present, not to mention demons and mortals, even gods and Buddhas rarely dare to enter it. This place is not only dangerous and taboo, but also occupies a key position in the world. Whether to grant such a place to one person, I really dare not decide on my own."

The Jade Emperor nodded, and then asked Dong Wanggong: "Dong Wanggong, tell me what you think."

Dong Wanggong bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter should be handled with caution. In the past, the Divine Thunder Jade Palace had submitted a petition to transform Buzhou Mountain into the 'Thunder Lake Prison'. Later, it was discovered that the Thunder Lake outside Buzhou Mountain was extremely dangerous, and even the Five Thunder Emperors did not dare to set foot in it, so the matter was left unresolved. Therefore, isn't it even more inconvenient to set up a divine palace in such a dangerous place?"

The Jade Emperor looked at Emperor Wenchang again, and before the Jade Emperor could speak, Emperor Wenchang said, "Your Majesty, I think the palace of True Lord Lingtai should indeed be re-established, and it should be established in a location that is convenient for communication with the four directions of heaven and earth. As for whether it is Mount Buzhou, I dare not comment, and it is entirely up to Your Majesty to decide."

The Jade Emperor said, "Please ask Erlang Shen to come up to heaven. I want to ask him what he thinks."

Wang Lingguan, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Erlang Shen only obeys orders, not instructions."

The Jade Emperor reacted, but he didn't take it seriously, and said, "Then issue an imperial decree and ask him to submit another memorial to elaborate on the matter."

"As you wish." Master Xu bowed and turned to draft an order.

Afterwards, an imperial edict came down from the thirty-six heavens to Guanjiangkou. After Erlang Shen received the edict, he couldn't help but smile and said to the Six Saints of Meishan: "The Jade Emperor asked me to submit another memorial to detail this matter. He must be considering that although Buzhou Mountain is a forbidden place, it doesn't seem to be that 'taboo'."

Then Erlang Shen wrote another memorial, elaborating on his thoughts and opinions in detail. In short, there are three points:

First, Mount Buzhou connects to the Heavenly Gate above and the Nine Netherworlds below, and is located in the center of heaven and earth. It is an excellent location. The Palace of the God of Fortune and Destiny on Earth should be set up here so that the divine affairs of the four directions of heaven and earth can be communicated.

Second, although the Thunder Lake of Buzhou Mountain is dangerous, it can be overcome with the supernatural power of Lingtai Zhenjun. At that time, the Thunder Lake will not only not be a disaster, but will be a barrier to the divine palace. Why not do it?
Third, I, Erlang Shen, submitted this memorial purely out of public interest. Lingtai Zhenjun controls the human world, and it would be too inconvenient if there is no divine palace that connects heaven and earth. Buzhou Mountain has been abandoned since ancient times, and now it is useful. Why can't Lingtai Zhenjun be granted a divine palace? Please let the Jade Emperor see clearly.

In the Tongming Palace, after reading Erlang Shen's memorial, the Jade Emperor could not help but nod and praise, "It is well-reasoned and well-founded. Erlang Zhenjun's memorial is indeed fair-minded."

Hearing this, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun asked, "Your Majesty, have you already intended to give Mount Buzhou to Lingtai Zhenjun to set up a divine palace?"

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi is one of the Four Heavenly Kings and rules over all the lands. Let's ask her opinion on this matter."

Immediately, a divine voice came out of the Tongming Palace: "The Jade Emperor has ordered that the Heavenly Lord Hou Tuhuang Dizhi come to the Tongming Palace to see the Heavenly Lord."

In a moment, thousands of golden lights and auspicious signs covered the sky and arrived outside the Tongming Palace. After the announcement, Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi flew into the Tongming Palace on a cloud of auspiciousness, came to the lower side of the Jade Emperor and bowed, saying: "Your servant Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi, pays homage to the Jade Emperor."

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Daoyou, please stand up."

Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, the Jade Emperor handed Erlang Shen's memorial to Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi and asked, "Erlang Zhenjun has submitted a memorial requesting that the Heavenly Court grant Buzhou Mountain to Lingtai Zhenjun to establish a divine palace. Daoist friend, please take a look."

Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi bowed and then began to read the memorial.

After a while, Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi bowed to the Jade Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this memorial is well-reasoned and convincing. The location of Buzhou Mountain is indeed suitable for setting up the Great Siming Palace on Earth."

The Jade Emperor asked, "Do you think this is feasible?"

Hou Tu said, "Your Majesty, as long as Lingtai Zhenjun can overcome the dangers and refine the Thunder Lake, then setting up the Great Siming Palace of Human Fortune in Buzhou Mountain will indeed be a hundred benefits without any harm. On the contrary, if Lingtai Zhenjun cannot overcome the dangers and refine the Thunder Lake, then we need to find another treasure land."

The Jade Emperor nodded and smiled, "This is very good."

After saying this, the Jade Emperor stood up and said, "Send an order to Lingtai Zhenjun, the Great God of Destiny of the Human World, to inform Zhenjun Erlang of the letter and order him to go to Buzhou Mountain immediately to refine Lei Ze."

Master Xu Tianshi on the side immediately nodded and accepted the order, then began to draft an edict.

Then the Jade Emperor said to Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and others: "If Lingtai Zhenjun can really eliminate the danger and refine Lei Ze, I will grant him Buzhou Mountain to set up a divine palace."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and the others bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. We will obey your Majesty's orders."

Tianshi Xu drafted the decree and presented it to the Jade Emperor for review. After the Jade Emperor read it, he ordered Tianshi Zhang to stamp it with his seal and then called Taibai Jinxing, "Taibai Jinxing, you will go down to the mortal world to pass on the decree."

Taibai Jinxing stepped forward, took the imperial edict, and then bowed and said, "I obey your order." (End of this chapter)
